This plain black pen has a lovely juicy springy gold nib. It doesn't flex but has a lovely springy feel and I just love the juicy line it makes. Doing some housecleaning and prepping for a couple of new pens and so it has to go. I bought it from Japan 3 or 4 years ago. It has the usual micro-scratches but no serious defects. Includes original box. Includes converter.
